About Eric Callaway — SC Master Plumber

30 Years in the Plumbing Trade

Eric Callaway started in the plumbing trade in 1996 — before smartphones, before online reviews, when a plumber's reputation was built entirely by word of mouth. That foundation of reputation-first service is still at the core of Plumbing Paramedic 911 today.

Eric earned his South Carolina Master Plumber License M114506 — the highest credential issued by the SC Contractor's Licensing Board (LLR) — through years of fieldwork, formal examination, and ongoing continuing education. A Master Plumber license isn't automatic; it requires documented experience, technical knowledge across residential and commercial systems, and a passing score on a rigorous state exam.

Why Plumbing Paramedic 911?

In 2015, Eric founded Plumbing Paramedic 911 to fill a gap he kept seeing in Upstate SC: homeowners and businesses dealing with plumbing emergencies who couldn't reach a qualified licensed plumber after hours. The name says it all — paramedics respond when it's urgent, any time of day or night. That's what Plumbing Paramedic 911 does for plumbing.

Since opening, the business has earned a BBB A+ rating, served hundreds of residential and commercial customers across Abbeville, Greenwood, Anderson, Laurens, McCormick, and surrounding counties, and maintained a near-perfect customer satisfaction record.

What Sets Eric Apart

• Hands-on owner — Eric isn't just the owner sitting behind a desk. He's the one who shows up to your house at 3 AM when a pipe bursts.
• Master Plumber credential — Not all plumbers are equal. A Master Plumber license is required to pull permits, design systems, and oversee work legally in South Carolina.
• Upstate SC specialist — Eric knows the quirks of plumbing systems in Abbeville County's historic homes, the well-water systems common in rural McCormick and Anderson counties, and the hard-water issues that cause scale buildup across the region.
• Transparent pricing — before any work begins. No surprise charges. Itemized invoices every time.
• 2-year warranty — All parts and labor are warranted for two years. If something fails, Eric comes back and makes it right.

Community & Values

Plumbing Paramedic 911 is a small, family-owned business rooted in Abbeville County. Eric offers discounts to military veterans, senior citizens, law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS personnel — the community members who show up for others when it matters. In-house financing is available for customers who need larger repairs but can't pay everything upfront.

The business is built on the belief that every person deserves a qualified, honest plumber who treats their home with respect — whether it's a quick faucet repair or a full-home repiping project.
